Hi, I would like to make a playable map for my moms irl gift shop in Florida. She asked if she can give away some stickers or a shirt to someone who plays the map. Does anyone know if this is allowed? Or how I would find an answer to this?
I know it wasn’t allowed, However I went back to the rules to grab the exact rule section for you and check it out my friend!
3.4 Contests and Sweepstakes
3.4.1. Your Fortnite island may not be used to conduct or promote a contest or sweepstakes promotion offering prizes (“Promotion”). This means that all aspects of a Promotion (including references to the Promotion, promotional materials, explanation of how to enter, entry methods, winner selection, and the awarded prizes) must be entirely outside of your Fortnite island.
3.4.2. If you conduct or promote a Promotion outside of Fortnite in connection with your island, you must comply with the rules in this Section 3 and all applicable laws (including any registration requirements). Also, you must:
3.4.2.1. Not encourage or require entrants to make any purchase or payment in connection with the Promotion. For example, you may not restrict entry in the Promotion behind entry fees, paid subscriptions/follows, or any other purchase requirements, or otherwise imply that making a purchase will increase the odds of winning;
3.4.2.2. Publish official Promotion rules (“Promotion Terms”), including all disclosures and terms required by law, and make them available wherever the Promotion is promoted or entries are accepted;
3.4.2.3. In the Promotion Terms and wherever the Promotion is promoted or entries are accepted, ensure that the Promotion’s sponsor(s) are clearly identified and include the following statement: “This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Epic Games, Inc.”; and
3.4.2.4. Include the following statements in the Promotion Terms:
For all Promotions: “TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS EPIC GAMES, INC., ITS LICENSORS, ITS AND THEIR AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, AND EXPENSES RELATED TO THIS PROMOTION.”
In addition, if entrants must submit any account or personal information: “THE INFORMATION PARTICIPANTS PROVIDE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PROMOTION IS BEING PROVIDED TO SPONSOR AND NOT TO EPIC GAMES, INC.
Looks like as long as you obey that you are good to go. Note: This is based on my enterpitation of the rule and I’m only one tool in the shed if you know what I mean.

Also check the rules section regarding using Epic’s IP in your promotions (Don’t think this is the case for you, just figured I’d mention it).
Thank you for your feedback. While I cannot guarantee a response, I can confirm that this has been forwarded to the appropriate team.
